Steam publishes a video game in which the player participates in the atrocities of October 7th, which is a thing so beyond the pale that I don’t even know where to begin.
Genocide games are suitable for no one.
People might want to complain to Steam about this genocide game.
Here is where to find it on the desktop version:
This is blatant anti-Semitism. Please complain if you are willing to go on Steam to do it.

“As someone who teaches writing for video games, I am deeply aware of how they impact players’ understandings of the world and can even create identification with groups—real and imagined—to whom the player comes to feel they “belong” through gameplay.”
Don’t let the lunatics teach your children to slaughter people.

I am going to make 2 statements. Please don’t respond to this without reading both.
The game should be taken down, at the least, it is condoning and normalizing terrorism, and has the potential to instill contentious thoughts in the minds of the naive and or mentally ill.
The game also does have the potential of normalizing terrorism in the minds of children or in an unstable individual who has been already affected by the real life terrorist act.
It’s not practical for someone to not take the responsibility for leaving the content up or of taking it down at this point. The cat is out of the bag now. The game exists in reality for one reason, because someone ridden with hatred already, wanted to offend and to provoke others.
PS. You know FRANK ZAPPA was one of the most anti censorship people to ever walk the planet. The only thing that ever disturbed him about content, other than he was vehemently opposed to the censorship of words in any form. He was a critic against the media and film industries use of violence in the entertainment industry, which he claimed already has and is effecting children’s behavior, and that it has already caused a major negative impact on society as whole. I’d say he was and is spot on. There are no solutions to anything in reality, there are only trade offs.
To clarify one point on ZAPPAS comment. He made the point of the news media and film industries use of violence in the entertainment industry, in retrospect. He was there as a witness before the media became a violence pusher for entertainment and news. And as he stated children had more morals back then, and would not even think of doing some of the things children say or do today.
When people were exposed to and consuming wholesome programing. Instead of today’s media, exploiting violence, adventure, dramatized racy fictional content for news and entertainment. Never used to occur, period!. And he was correct.
They don’t call it programing for nothing, you’re being manipulated one way or another by the environment around you to be of a certain mindset, whether you realize it or it not. And children are naturally unaware of that fact, and are essentially a blank canvas for the family and the environment to paint upon. In that sense on a macro sociological = environmental scale it does take a village to protect future generations from falling into tyranny. So the story goes “Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children’s children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.”
That’s not a video game by any stretch of the imagination, it’s PYSOP, terrorists propaganda.
